INALIENABLE ECLIPSE

Celestial stirrings filled the air
Darkness is coming, you best beware.
Moon between our earth and sun
Blocking light, are we undone?
No peeking, no solar glass hardware.

Eclipse, eclipse, hurry now, ready
Helter-skelter, stay focused–steady
Start your list: solar glasses
Almost sold in all classes,
I must have some, said stubborn Freddie!

NO light–Becoming night in daytime!
Who’ll behold our truths, through day’s dark slime?
Who’ll guide where our guidance flails?
Shed light on woeful dark tales,
Freddie in day’s dark, erase the grime.

Wishing all a safe and intriguing eclipse!
